Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the newly designed group self-management program is feasible to conduct and improves mental and behavioral health outcomes compared to a control group in people diagnosed with brain cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it feasible to conduct this program? * Does the new group self-management program improve behavioral health outcomes more than in the control group that will not be in a group setting?
